Thursday, 9 April, 2026

In this episode of Big Blend Radio’s “Quiltripping Travel with Rose” podcast, travel writer and photographer Rose Palmer shares highlights from her unforgettable journey through Patagonia, one of the most breathtaking and remote regions in South America. From the awe-inspiring glaciers of Los Glaciares National Park to the dramatic peaks of Torres del Paine National Park, Rose takes us deep into Patagonia’s wild landscapes. Along the way, she recounts incredible wildlife encounters—from penguin colonies near Punta Arenas to sightings of guanacos and the rare, majestic Andean condor. This immersive conversation also covers practical travel tips, including navigating remote regions, planning a Patagonia itinerary, and preparing for changing weather conditions. Rose emphasizes the value of slow travel, encouraging travelers to take their time and truly connect with the landscapes, wildlife, and culture. Whether you're dreaming of glaciers, wildlife, or wide-open spaces, this episode offers both inspiration and helpful insights for planning your own Patagonia adventure. 📖 ROSE'S PATAGONIA ARTICLES: * Things to Do in Ushuaia: https://quiltripping.com/things-to-do-in-ushuaia-argentina/ * Things to Do in Puerto Natales: https://quiltripping.com/things-to-do-in-puerto-natales/ * Three Days in Torres del Paine: https://quiltripping.com/three-days-in-torres-del-paine/ * Two days with the Punta Arenas Penguins: https://quiltripping.com/punta-arenas-penguins/ * Two Days in Los Glacieres National Park: https://quiltripping.com/two-days-in-los-glacieres-national-park/ MORE LINKS & RESOURCES 🌐 Explore More from Quiltripping: https://quiltripping.com/ 📰 Check Out the “Quiltripping Travel” Digital Podcast Magazine: https://online.fliphtml5.com/yhwzg/QUILTRIPPING-TRAVEL-WITH-ROSE-MAG/ 🎧 Subscribe to the Podcast: https://quiltripping-travel.podbean.com/ 📲 This episode is also featured on Big Blend Radio’s "Vacation Station," "Parks & Travel," and "Nature Connection" Channels: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/bigblendradionetwork
